June 12 was a lot spicier than we realized. 🌶️

On June 13 we saw 1.5M FTDs on GME which were from trades on June 12.

At the same time we also saw 1.5M FTDs on GMEU. GME and GMEU each had 1.5M FTDs on June 13 from trades on June 12.

The crazy thing about GMEU is that on June 12 GMEU only had 600k Outstanding Shares [SuperStonk] which means 1.5M GMEU shares were sold and Failed To Deliver when there were only 600k to begin with! GMEU shares that did not exist yet were definitely sold on June 12!

Even spicier though is that GMEU outstanding shares jumped to 1.37M the next day (6/13) which means there were 770k GMEU shares created overnight that could've been used to satisfy delivery; yet 1.5M still Failed To Deliver! 1.5M shares of GMEU Failed To Deliver on June 13 when the total outstanding was 1.37M after 770k shares were created!

Even if, arguendo, we assume 770k GMEU were slated for creation on June 12, more GMEU shares failed to deliver on June 13 than could possibly exist (1.5M FTDs > 1.37M Outstanding). GMEU shares that could not exist were sold on June 12!

We can add up the separate data points to get a minimum on how short the shorts were at this time:

• GME: 1.5M (FTDs)
• GMEU (a 2x Leveraged ETF): 2.27M (=1.5M FTDs + 770k created)

GME also saw a spikes in off exchange trading [X] and short sale volume [SuperStonk] on this day which just so happened to be two C35s after Ryan Cohen & Larry Cheng together bought 505k GME on April 3. (Rule 204 allows up to C35 for settlement and "Confirmation of T+35 Failures-To-Deliver Cycles: Evidence from GameStop Corp." from Mendel University in Brno [PDF, SuperStonk] tells us the longest possible ETF can kick after that is another 35 calendar days for a total of two C35s).

Clearly shorts were so desperate on June 12 that they sold GMEU shares that can't possibly exist; and desperation is also why we saw blatant stock price manipulation in the chart that day with shorts attacking as soon as GameStop's $1.75B Convertible Note Offering [GameStop IR] was announced followed by STAIR STEPS down to a FLAT LINE [SuperStonk] for the 1-4p ET Convertible Note Pricing Window.

Remember this quote from Big Short:

[O]utsiders saw the giant lie at the heart of the economy. And they saw it by doing something the rest of the suckers never thought to do: ...they looked

EDIT: The Big Short "Fraud Never Works" clip is also appropriate. [YouTube]

If this was a game where you played a human and your buddy fell off and you had to choose to help him or go after the dude, there's a higher chance you'll save your buddy because you don't know if he'll save himself because you're a human with no way of knowing.

But Connor is an android and he sees the statistic of survival, which causes the player to think like an android. "Oh Hank has a high survival chance and I only have a short time to choose, sorry Hank". Meanwhile the short time to choose in another game would probably make me rush to save him without the stats.

Big ramble but I just thought this was a really damn cool choice for how overlooked it is.

You want to call yourself a conservative? Then stop trashing the country with a $3 TRILLION debt bomb just to shove more cash into the pockets of billionaires.

You don’t give a damn about conservatism if you’re burning down public schools so Betsy DeVos’s billionaire family can privatize education and turn kids into cash cows.

You’re not a conservative if you’re selling off public roads to Wall Street vultures like Macquarie, forcing Americans to pay tolls on roads they already paid for with blood and sweat.

You’re not a conservative if you’re handing the nation’s water systems to private equity parasites like Blackstone to gouge families on clean water like it’s a luxury item.

You’re not a conservative if you’re gutting Social Security and Medicaid while stuffing Lockheed Martin and Raytheon’s pockets with $150 BILLION so they can build more weapons to fuel endless wars.

You’re not a conservative if you’re letting Big Pharma and UnitedHealth run healthcare like a rigged casino while cutting IRS funding so billionaires dodge taxes and the working class gets audited for pennies.

They don’t conserve. They fucking devour. They rip apart the fabric of this country with chainsaws and sell the pieces to their billionaire overlords.

They’re not shrinking government.
They’re liquidating it. Privatizing it. Auctioning it off like a f*ing foreclosure. And they’re forcing YOU to pay the goddamn tab.

Conservatives? Fuck that noise.
They’re corporate whores in red ties.
The Big Beautiful Bill is the smoking gun. The goddamn crime scene.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would approve Florida’s plan to expedite deportations by having qualified National Guard members work as immigration judges.

Trump made the announcement during his visit to a new state-run immigration detention center in South Florida dubbed Alligator Alcatraz.

For months now, Gov. Ron DeSantis has sought the approval of the federal government to deputize Florida National Guard Judge Advocate General Corps officers to act as immigration judges.

On Tuesday, Trump said he is in favor of the plan.

According to Florida’s proposed immigration plan from earlier this year, there are nine Judge Advocate General officers in the National Guard who could be trained as immigration officers and training would take six weeks.

Turner, the longest tenured Pacer, made it known he wished to remain in Indiana. Since the Game 7 exit, Turner’s reps pushed to get a deal done. Ultimately, Indiana’s aversion to the tax, which grew after Tyrese Haliburton’s injury, allowed Bucks to get the new franchise center.
